Goodness you need a little vaccuum with a really small nozzle for daily cleanups. That sand can and will wreak havoc once it gets into crevaces where it does not belong.
 
I've been doing a good was every couple days most of it blows off once I hit pavement. Does anyone think more of a street tire would keep the dirt down better than these dual sport tires?
 
I thought this was going to be a man down thread! Glad it's not! Little dirts good for the Buell!
 
I hear ya, I live on a dirt road too. But mine is only a little over half a mile long. I idle out in first gear but the bike is still covered in dust by the time I get to the end. Especially the wheels. So I hit the car wash everytime I go out, can't stand dirty wheels.
